Nancy ends her Spring '13 Fashion Week experience with Kithe Brewster's spring collection.
By the last day of fashion week, my patience wears thin from standing in lines and waiting for shows to start. Luckily, Kithe Brewster kept his guests distracted with champagne and delicious snacks as we waited patiently for the show to begin. The Johnston Room in the Nomad Hotel was a peculiar venue, but Brewster managed to creatively utilize the space in a labyrinth-like manner. I enjoyed being up close and personal with the models as they walked down the aisles.

One of Brewster's strengths is how he manipulates fabric and creates unique dress shapes. He focuses on the view from behind, making the backs of dresses stand out with cut outs and drapery. The delicate texture on the coffin-tulle chiffon dresses were strikingly contrasted with the dark make up and fluffed bobs.
These four looks were my favorite from the show. The blazer suit dress is not a particularly new look for the runway, but its tailored well and I loved the belt. The sea foam silk chiffon strapless gown with box pleat detail flows gorgeously and is a great color for spring. I've always been a fan of Ikat print, so this caftan-mini is a yes for me, perfect for lunches by the beach next summer.
Highlight of the night? Spotting Wyclef Jean looking sharp in a Kithe Brewster suit.

Kithe Brewster need to give it up... We were waiting for an hour for the show to start and I'm being kind to say it was ONLY an hour....Then the Makeup and Hair wasn't fresh I seen it ALL Before in the early 90s. ALL the fabrics looked recycled which READ on the Runway. Only 13 looks were shown which is a proof of lack of FUNDS. if you want to show for The Real NYFW Please Do It Right. Waste if Time and Don't Look Forward to another Collection From Kithe Brewster.
Anonymous, What did YOUR collection look like, and was the production flawless? Kithe Brewster produced a lovely collection and presented it well. He went out of his way to entertain guests while they were waiting for the show to start. Have you never had to wait for a show to begin? Rare. I have no idea if Kithe had as much financing as he would like (who does?) but the quality of his work is jewel like.
